Bacon, Cheddar and Chive Mini Scones

As far as healthy things go, these are as about as far away from good-for-you as you can get and not be fast food. White flour, bacon, cheese, butter, heavy cream…the only things missing are high fructose corn syrup and millions spent on a hashtag heavy ad campaign. That’s probably why I made the mini version. This way, you can house two of them and pretend like you’re eating better than you actually are. Like miniature cupcakes or brownie bites…it’s all about perception.

Still, at least you’ll have enjoyed yourself while shuffling off this mortal coil at the ripe old age of 52 as you grip your chest and gasp for air. If kale smoothies and boiled salmon are the keys to long life, I’ll opt for the stuff that tastes good.**There’s actually a happy medium. It’s called moderation. Don’t eat like a stoned college student, go on the occasional walk, and you should be fine.
